By Semeli Karen McPherson
After a lot of excitement in the news media, finally the unveiling of Samsung Galaxy S4 has brought its features and specifications in the light.

The most talked about feature of Galaxy S4 is the Smart Scroll. The impression was that of tracking your eyes to scroll the text.

Additionally, the feature of Smart Stay is also included that senses your eye movement when you look at the screen or away from it.Redesigned Camera App
The camera app is loaded with new and improved features. For example, when you are capturing a picture you can record an audio of 9 seconds along with it. Additionally, the feature of Drama Shot is capable of creating action captured via burst mode. You have captured a picture of someone playing tennis; you can combine all pictures and create an action of the tennis player. This way you will be able to create an act of player playing tennis. Another thing that comes added to the camera app is Dual Camera features. You can simultaneously shoot from the front and rear-end cameras at the same time. Now you can shoot a group picture with you in it utilizing this function.Smart Pause
Smart Pause tracks your eye movement from the front camera. It will sense your eye movement, for example until you are watching a video the video will keep playing, as soon as you take your eyes off it the video will pause.The S Factor
Galaxy S4 sports quite a few S features. The S Translator is one such feature that helps in translating languages. This works in E-mails, chats and messages equally. This does helps in getting across and reaching out to more people globally. Making interaction and communication easier is what this feature all about.

It helps in keeping a track of workout sessions, dietary intake, and weight management, help monitor your blood pressure and even keep a track of your blood glucose level.NFC and Group Play
NFC technology has a lot of added advantages, one of them being added to Group Play to enable better interaction. Additionally, Wi-Fi Direct helps in playing music and games together.

IBM ThinkPad Tablet - X61 Tablet Review
By Kent Lee
Lenovo, with its IBM ThinkPad Tablet PC X61 computer, has provided the computer world with a sleek, highly portable, and highly versatile convertible PC notebook of the kind is highly in demand by people who are always on the go, such as university students, field reps, entrepreneurs, and soccer moms. In addition, it's very simply a tool totally designed for geeks such as the helplessly computer enamored and professional writers and journalists.
Lenovo's beloved X series of personal convertible electronic notebooks continues its evolution of the electronic tablet with the IBM ThinkPad Tablet PC X61, an improvement even over its 'PC Magazine' Editor's choice, the forerunner X41, while taking care of the flaws of the in-between X60 (more efficient performance, longer battery life, and higher testers' scores against industry expectations).
The IBM ThinkPad Tablet PC X61 takes miniaturization to another level while improving computational power and versatility. This is a good thing, although some PC users might be somewhat irritated at times with the Munchkinization that can make typing a little more of a challenge for those with larger than average sized hands, especially men.
TheIBM ThinkPad Tablet PC X61 has been all the rage in the PC savvy world since it was released last year. It sports what is still considered to be the very best laptop keyboard in the industry and a sturdy, rugged, sleek black matte finish over a light circuitry chassis (made with light-but-strong magnesium alloy), and it's almost instantly ready as soon as you get it out of the box. The ThinkPad X61's electronics were based on Intel's Santa Rosa platform, which was the very first x86 (Core and Pentium CPU chips) chip platform to be introduced for PCs back in 2003. The X61 Tablet's powerful Core 2 Duo processor (X61 models come customized with your choice of the R, T, X, or Z family) is in the direct line of descent from this platform.
Because of its target audience, the IBM ThinkPad Tablet PC X61 does not give in to the industry warming trend of the wide screen, but keeps the standard 12" screen, keeping vertical scrolling needs lesser. Not only does it have, despite its miniaturization, the full-sized keyboard that made the X41 so beloved, it also features cutting edge TrackPoint pointer-stick technology that is simply unmatched. The ThinkPad X61 Tablet's one of a kind 180° swivel hinge allows cutting edge screen swivel-and-flip mobility ideal for note-taking, writing, database management, and collaborating.
The IBM ThinkPad Tablet PC X61 is fully compatible with Windows Vista and it can be fitted with embedded WWAN (wireless wide area network, or "wireless broadband"), adding even more to its on-the-go versatility. It's also very easy to use function keys that enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology. However, the X61 Tablet has been criticized by some for not having a built-in optical drive (Lenovo offers a separate, attachable docking station but that weights two pounds, and the built-in optical option was kept out for the sake of weight in the first place).

Should Apple Really Consider A "Cheap" iPhone?
By Jeremy Bates
Since 2007, Apple has been the industry leader in the smartphone genre of communication device; however, in recent years, they have seen there once monopolized market share being eaten away by Android powered devices, Samsung most notably. In response to such concerns, some critics and Apple insiders have been rumoring that Apple may approach its global competitors by creating a cheaper version of the iPhone for those customers with smaller budgets. The following article will discuss this decision and the potential impact it may have on the prestigious following of Apple.
Apple has long been known to be a technology giant that produces the highest quality products, without sacrificing quality for potential market share. From the iPhone to the iPad to the MacBook, users have never gone to Apple for the bargained price; Steve Jobs was famous for getting people to venture outside their budget for "the best" in the industry. With every product release, Apple followers and loyalists line up outside their retail outlets as if the next product will change their life; and in some cases it has.
As of late, Apple's dominance in the field of smartphone communications has been challenged by competitors that have emulated and reproduced their ideas, making the next product release that much more difficult to differentiate from the field of producers. In response to such a notion, there has been chatter amongst Apple insiders that the iPhone would be spinning a new direction from winning by innovation to winning by creating budget incentive. The result would be a new "cheap iPhone."
What exactly the new budget friendly device would contain is still yet to be known; however, it is clear that this move would demote the aura that surrounds Apple and lower them to the dog-eat-dog competition that has churned out some of the poorest made devices over the past decade.
Apple already has a budget friendly way of promoting its devices by allowing customers to purchase the previous generations for fractions of the newest products sales price. While proponents argue that the out of contract price of these devices is still far beyond what consumers can pay in international markets compared to competitors, opponents argue that the Apple mantra would be jeopardized by such a move.
The verdict is still undecided and the product has yet to be described. The ultimate result of such a maneuver with devices 2 generations old being essentially free is still quite controversial and may indeed change the tide of Apple and the iPhone's perception nationwide. The it factor that the iPhone delivers is partially driven by its exclusivity and high-class symbolism. These factors would likely be eroded, making the already household name become tarnished by cutting quality and "it" factor.

I have been reviewing and blogging about Apple innovations since the release of the iPhone in 2007. Since that time, I have responded to demand for a quality iPhone, iPod and iPad Repair service by creating budget friendly repair site that addresses the needs that Apple has forgone. Since that time I have continued to be an avid Apple follower with my primary focus being on the iPhone and its subsequent generations.
